If you are running a deep substrate and using lights to heat your surface, you will create the proper gradient of humidity. Just like with heat gradients, reptile need to use both dryer and more humid enviroments inside their environments. They will use these different micro environments frequently. What I have seen is that hogs actually like humid areas and will retreat to them for hours a day. I have seen no evidence of URIs due to humid condition in western hogs. Humidity does not cause URIs on its own in any species. There would need to be othe factors involved like general poor husbandry. Again, the key is to provide a gradient. | ||
